Thanks for all your reviews! I love all of you reviewers, I wouldn't keep writing if I wasn't getting reviews, and good ones at that. If I was getting bad ones I would quit, lol.

I know my last chapter was very long( two parts) and it had to be. My next 2 or 3 chapters won't be that long I promise, just a few pages. Like this one for instance, is only as long as I could make it, without losing the feeling.

Gelf, Rosalie, Melodie, Aniki, Imjuzakyd, there is a special note at the bottom of this for all of you! But read the chapter first! And review!

Enjoy!!

Chapter 11: You've Got Mail!

Shalimar was awakened by the ringing sound of her cell phone that was on her night stand. "Hello?"

"Shal, it's me Dasi."

"Hey, is Jesse alright?"

"Yeah, hold on a minute."

Shalimar wanted to scream, she had been woken up from a great dream, only to be told to hold on. I am going to teach her something when she gets home!

"Hey Shal," said a voice on the other line.

"Jesse!" she shrieked. "Your awake!"

"Yeah, I just woke up a few minutes ago. Dasi told me how worried everyone was."

"Yeah we were, how do you feel?"

"Like I jumped out of a 2 story window and landed on my head."

"Well you did jump, but you only whacked our head." she joked.

"Tell that to my head." he joked back. It was so good to hear his voice.

"Hey, let me change and I will be right there. I can't wait to see your blue eyes looking back at me, did Dasi tell you that we thought you died."

"Well that's cause I did, at least I had a nightmare that I did. The whole white light thing."

"Don't tell me that."

"Sorry Shal, but whatever happened I am here, so hurry up and get here already."

"Ok, I am on my way, give me 15 minutes."

"Ok, can you do something for me?"

"Sure, what?"

"Bring food."

"I will have to get Emma to cook something."

"That works, after all I don't want to die eating your cooking."

"Hey! Just for that I just might cook."

"Wait, ok I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Ok, I will see what I get scrounge up, ok?" laughed Shal.

"Good, cause I am starving, and all I am looking at is green jello."

"Ewe, ok I will be there in 15 to 20 minutes."

"Ok, I will be right here."

"Bye Jesse."

"Bye Shal."

As Shal got out of bed, she was feeling better than she every imagined she could. Her best friends was awake, and alive. She still didn't know where Brennan or Mari was. She regretted yelling at him just before the mission started. What if that is the last words I ever get to say to his face? Ok, enough thinking like that, Jesse is awake, and I forbid this day to be bad.

Shal walked into the kitchen where Emma was busy cooking breakfast for everyone. "Hey Emma. What are you fixing?"

"Morning Shal, I am fixing pancakes. Want some?"

"Sure do, and I also need some to take with me."

"Where?"

"To see Jesse. He's awake, and starving."

"He awake!" exclaimed Emma. "Let me make you a plate real fast, and you can eat while I fix some for Jesse."

"Ok, while you are doing that I will check my e-mails real fast."

"Alright, I will come get you when they are ready."

"Thanks," said Shal as she walked out of the kitchen and toward one of the 4 computers in the living room area. She turned on the computer and sat down, when the AOL sign on screen came on she typed in her screen name and password.

"You've Got Mail." said the voice.

"Hey Shal," said Lexa as she came up and sat down at another computer beside Shal.

"Morning Lexa."

"Big surprise here, I have no new emails."

"Well if it makes you feel better I only have one, and it says Video message, so I think it is Spam."

"Well you never know, maybe you won a million dollars," joked Lexa.

"Yeah right." laughed Shal. "Hey you want to watch whatever with me?"

"Sure. What does the e-mail say?"

As they both started reading, it became clear that it was not Spam, but something far more important.

EMAIL:

Dear Ms. Shalimar Fox

Attached you will find your first clue at to where your boyfriend is. During the next week, I will send you clues, at the end of the week if you can tell me where he is, I will release him, if not. I WILL KILL HIM!

1 week! Happy hunting! And feel free to let your friends help you, but be careful who you trust.

Signed

AB

END OF EMAIL

"Oh my God!" said Lexa. "Hurry up open the video."

"Ok, hold on." said Shal, she couldn't believe it. She was happy to know he was alive, but hated knowing his life was in her hands.

Video:

We see Brennan and Mari sitting on the floor against a wall.

"Yea, guys don't feel it the way we girls do either." said Mari

"What do you mean?"

"Guys think love is something that can go for a few months and end. And that's fine with them. But girls want something to last forever."

"And you think guys don't?"

"Some guys do, I admit that, just not any of the losers I have ever met."

"Well maybe you should aim higher."

"Maybe I should. But I don't want to get hurt again."

"Sometimes you have to risk it, in order to find something worth keeping forever."

"Yea, and when did you get all philosophical?"

"I'm not, was just thinking out loud."

"Brennan, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Cause I was wondering why a girl as beautiful as you would ever have a problem finding a guy."

"I said I had a problem finding nice guys."

Brennan kisses Mari, and she pushes him away. "Why did you just do that?"

"I don't know; I just did."

"I thought you were different, but apparently you are like all the other guys."

"What?"

"You're with Shalimar!" she yelled.

"I know, I don't know what I was thinking."

"I don't know, but it better not happen again. You might not care about her, but I do!"

"I care about her, but..."

VIDEO FADES OUT

"Shal, are you alright?"

"He kissed her."

"I know sweetie, but you never know, the video could have been doctored."

"That was not doctored! You saw it, he kissed her!" yelled Shal.

"Look, we will find them, and then you can figure out what to do next."

"Yeah I am going to find them, and then I will kill him!" she said as she stood up from the desk. "I am going to see Jess, he woke up."

"That's great, tell him I will come to see him later, ok?"

"OK, see what you and the others can find out. See if you can find a clue in there, call me if you do."

"Alright I will get right on it, and Shal, don't drive yourself crazy being mad with him."

"I won't, I will save it for after we find him and Mari."

"Good idea."

"Be back later.

"Ok, I will call you if we find the clue."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Shalimar walked back into the kitchen. Emma had already finished breakfast and was setting the table. "Hey Shal, I left yours on the stove, and Jesse's is in that plastic case right there."

"Ok, thanks Emma, I will eat when I get back."

"Ok. Tell him I will see him later alright."

"I will."

Shal picked up the plastic carrying case Emma had put Jesse's food in and headed for the garage, she tried to shake the video out of her mind, but all she keep seeing and hearing was;

"I care about her, but..."

Oh I love new twists, don't you? I hope all of you enjoy the little clues, right along with Shal and the others. Will any of you figure them out before I reveal it? Good luck!
